Best 5th Grade Science Conference Ever!!

I hosted two events; "Resources for Passing the End of Grade Assessments" and "Writing in the Content Area."  Below are two summarized versions of the Slides I presented along with additional notes to support.

All of the resources mentioned can be found HERE.
My science lessons are roughly 45 minutes to an hour so I move through those six steps at a decent pace.

In the video I mentioned Page Keeley Assessment Probes and Discovery Education SOS Strategies as great resources for kinesthetic activities to review.

To clarify what I meant by using authentic questions for the cumulative review.  I do not generate my own questions, I only use published ones so students are familiar with the language of the test.  I am not teaching to the test, I am just preparing them how the content will be presented to them.
